Wonder how much stealth is lost with the riced-out F16 over the generic one?

I wasn't aware that the F-16 was considered a particularly stealthy aircraft in the first place. Stealth generally is considered as starting with the F-117.

The F-16I probably has a bit larger cross-section with those big external tanks, pods and the dorsal.... but hard to say if it makes a material difference from original config.

Any radar types out there that can answer the question?
